I have just unpacked my new AMD Athlon 64 x2 with AM2 socket, and ASUS
motherboard, but the Fan kit did not contain any heat transfer gunk.

The instructions no where refer to this being neaded, but I have been
using the stuff since my first 386.

Do I nead this, or not. The pamflet for the CPU says it contains lead,
so maybe I am thinking this is a substitute for the gunk.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
